IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
What if we could clone Dinosaurs and keep them in terraiums on our desk top?
That is what I decided would be pretty "Unbelievable".
DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
The dinosaur, palm tree and palm plant are all objects found on the web.
They were in either 3DS or DXF format and converted with Thomas Baiers
3dWin converter.
The base was a simple box with a height field set on it. The frame was
also csg'ed out of boxed
The backdrop was a different height field rendered in Povray and mapped
to a box.
All modeling and positioning was acomplished using Moray for Windows.
All textures were standard Moray textures either unmodified or modified.
The one exception was the antique copper texture which I created myself.
The image was then opened in PaintShop Pro for conversion to JPG.
